"I am currently breastfeeding and I have cold symptoms. I have a very uncomfortable sore throat. What can I take to relieve it?"

If you are currently breastfeeding and experiencing symptoms of a cold, you can take Tylenol or Advil for pain relief, drink warm honey to soothe your throat, avoid irritating foods, and rest as much as possible. If you have nasal congestion, consider using a product like Sinus Rinse twice a day to reduce irritation. It is best to avoid products containing decongestants as they may decrease milk production.
